Kindly answer ALL questions which follow Thanks

16. Given the following COCOMO constants table: a Application Organic Semi-Detached Embedded 2.4 3.0 3.6 b 1.05 1.12 1.20 2.5 2.5 2.5 d 0.38 0.35 0.32 Assume that you are to use COCOMO to cost" a project. The project is a rather simple stand-alone utility for a computer running Linux. A person on your team who has done this before estimates the total lines of code to be 36,200. The team is small and very fluent in Linux. All other factors can be considered to be nominal. (i) Calculate what Cocomo would predict for the total Programmer Months (PM) needed for this project. (ii) Calculate what Cocomo would predict for the total duration of this project in months. 17. Functional Point (FP) Estimation Method is said to be independent of computer language, capability and technology used. A contractor stipulates that a computer application is to be developed according to the preset data in the table below. Before the system reaches the testing stage, the customer requests some changes which resulted to the addition of 100 FPs with changes to 55 existing FPs. After the acceptance testing stage, the customer asks for changes to some of the functions in the system amounting to 200 FPs and some new functions which amount to 125 additional FPs with deletion of 60 existing FPs. Calculate the additional charge based on the preset data. FP Feature Pre-acceptance testing Post-acceptance testing handover handover Cost per FP Rs 500 Rs 800 Additional FPS 100% 120% Changed FPS 140% 175% Deleted FPs 35% 60%
